Chapter 7 - Alan
After that, she opened and showed the status of the skill.
RESISTANCE ( ORANGE)- RESIST ALL TYPES OF CONTROL SKILLS OF LEVEL ABOVE FIVE LEVELS AND BELOW.
After that, she learned the skill and she was going to learn the title, I stopped her. I said," if you believe me then keep the title skills, when we complete the dungeon maybe the title can be fused".
Lina kept her title skill in the space bag, then I took the alchemy material, she didn't say anything. I thought of a slime monster that slowly erodes clothing. Thinking of that, would I become the nemesis of females. Should I keep the name of the , female nemesis? Hmm thinking of that I smiled.
Looking at my smiling face, she blushed and didn't look at me. I was puzzled when I saw this. Then said let's go we will celebrate. She nodded her head.
I was going to look for a restaurant when I saw a boy the same age as me selling food. I looked at him carefully and saw he was dirty, there were some bruises on his face, maybe he was beaten. I looked at him, his eyes were firm and thought," a boy with a story".
The food he was cooking was barbeque, I looked at and saw his cooking skills were top-notch, but there was no customer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlan was cooking barbeque, the ingredients present were not much, and he was beaten by people every time he couldn't pay. His face had a little dirt, his body was also weak. Some adventures ask protection fees from the people selling in the stall so. He knew they were his father enemies making things difficult for him. He also knows his sister was cursed by them, but he could only grit his teeth and wait for his strength to grow up.
He made very little money. He also had to feed her younger sister who was cursed. If he wanted to treat he had to get 5 silver coins in the church where caster cast advanced cure which cures all negative status, curse and so, he was desperately trying to save money every day to release her sister from the painful curse.
Alan both parents were high-level adventures. Sometimes when the beast grows in large numbers in a forbidden zone adventure team must go to clean the monster to keep their population to check. His father and mother had offended an adventuring group, which was named Tom's gang, an adventure group. That was because his father had epic level weapon dropped in the dungeon, and Tom's gang saw and asked to sell them a weapon for 1 silver coin.
His father was furious and he was going to say something when his wife held him back and left. They didn't think they would follow to their house. Six months ago, while clearing the beast, in the forbidden zone their parents had to participate in it. There was a rule that no one will fight there and they had to sign the contract but, Tom's gang attracted a large group of monsters near Alan's parents and they died.
Many people saw this, but nobody came to say anything about it. Tom's gang paid 10 gold coins and bribed the upper three embers of the card. So most of the members pay a blind eye to this matter. They also came secretly at night and robbed all their money's and left it under the sibling's eyes.
Alan went to the council for investigation of the matter but the member of the court said," you have offended someone of high level". And he threw the appeal letter in thrash can.
Facing such a situation, Alan mind became matured at that moment. He looked at the people present and asked," Sir can you tell me the name of the person whom I offended".
The officer looked playfully and said," it's not a big deal many people know him. He is the city lord's brother Tom. His adventures team name is Tom's gang".
Alan walked out of the office with despair on his face. He knew now he had to think, how to survive and vowed to become strong and take revenge on all those people. He knew his parents were honest people who helped many persons, some of them were from big adventure guild. He decided to look for the next and see if can get any help.
Alan went from one guild to another but he wasn't allowed to enter the door. The people who saw him didn't help. They would show him the cold eye, looked at him with disgust. Alan felt as he was an eyesore. Sometimes the leader of some guild would come out and say," Isn't it Alan, here have this copper coin boy, work hard, live a good life. Don't be like your father".
Alan gritted his teeth and took the money, in this way he had gathered all amounts to at least open food stalls and sell food for some money. He remembered at home when he used to cook for his family, they said," Alan your cooking skills are top quality, open a restaurant it will work well". Remembering that time his eyes were filled with tears, but he didn't cry. He hold the tear back and started to think of opening an od stall where he can earn money.
He successfully opened but saw no one was buying his dish, so he would go home and finish the dish with his sister. She said," brother don't work so hard, I don't feel pain", Saying that she smiled. If you look closely there were blisters every place on the body. It was getting serious. Alan knew that he and his sister has only two months to live and he has to earn enough money for treatment before that.
himself where had he done wrong God, why are you making me go through all this. He shook all other thoughts from his mind and said," don't worry sis, I am fine I will help you cure the curse".
I walked towards the stall, Lina simply followed me. I looked at Alan and asked," hello there how much do you sell the barbeque".
"Two sticks for one copper", Alan replied.
I saw the next stall price that was selling for two copper for one stick
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI tasted the barbeque, and I decided to hire him. As Lina eats more food so, I decided to hire him as a chef.
"Hello sir can you tell me your name", I asked.
"Alan", he said after hesitating sometimes.
"Alan I would like to hire you as my chef for 1 gold coin, for now, if the quality of food is increased then I will pay you more", I said showing a sunny smile.
Alan was stunned, and he said," are you sure you want to hire me for one gold coin".
Alan had finally seen the light when he was in darkness, but soon he hesitated for a moment and then began to tell his story.
I looked at him and smiled and said,?"I don't have the power to help you get revenge but I promise you as long as you become my chef I will help you when I have the power in future".
" If you don't have any problems we can set the contract for a month", I said.
Alan nodded his head, he said, "please as long as you can help my sister get rid of her curse, I will follow you".
I shook my head and said," I want a chef and a partner, who can fight side by side me.. So I would like to agree to my request to join my adventures team".
